  • mzsalove, thanks for the links. The small battery models look good. I'll probably grab one after I find a new laptop. And Bergermeister your solar and wind solutions led me to look for solutions for my in-laws, who spend a lot of time in the Cong…

  • Download & install NeoOffice and forget MS Office. If you use NeoO and not OO then you need not worry about X Windows. NeoOffice's speed is not terrible, and is getting better, and the advanced features of NeoO actually work with large documents…

  • If you want to have OS X protection in the unlikely event of a virus which affects OS X and also prevent passing along Windows viruses via email, then I suggest ClamXav: http://www.markallan.co.uk/clamXav/index.php?page=dl
